You may have noticed a change to Google Hangouts Contact Search. There are no longer suggestions from across Google and Google+ - all you will see in the resules are people from your contacts or organization. If you want to start a Hangout conversation with someone new, you’ll need their email address.

In the wake this week’s horrific shooting in Las Vegas, Facebook, Google News and YouTube have come under fire for allowing their automated systems to promote fake news and conspiracy theories. Rapidly breaking news seems to have overwhelmed any filters that are in place. Hopefully they will figure out how to do better.
